Reconsidering tinplate...
tinplate
‘thin steel sheet with a coating of tin applied either by dipping in molten metal or by electrolytic deposi-tion; almost all tinplate is now produced by the latter process.’
Properties and applications
‘Tinplate has the strength and formability of steel combined with the noncorrosive and nontoxic proper-ties of tin and has the additional property of easy solderability. While it is largely used for containers for food and beverages, paints, oils, tobacco, and nu-merous other products, its use has broadened to in-clude toys, baking equipment, and parts for radio and other electronic equipment.’

Reconsidering Tinplate
Natasha Carolan
This little booklet has attempted to challenge you, the reader, to reconsider Tinplate.
It hoped to create within you, a moment of in-spiration or appreciation for tinplate.
It hopes that the next time you encounter tin-plate you will remember how versatile it is and that you will recycle any tinplate that you cannot use again.
